CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

I can now knit - thanks to Debbie Bliss -
As an authority in knitting, Debbie Bliss has carved out a name for herself. I "How to Knit" because I wanted to learn to knit. I heard from a friend who is a local knitting group that Debbie Bliss's book is recommended. I picked up other beginner knitting books and found them to be written in a trendy manner as opposed to being direct beginner knitting directions.

Debbie Bliss - Thank you. I hope to meet you when you come to America.

Great book! -
OK, so I had known the basics of knitting before I got the book. I knew how to cast on and off, how to knit (turns out, I used to knit tbl), purl and make basic cables. I was totally afraid of laces and the very idea of shaping sent shivers down my spine. Not any more! I sat down with a pair of needles and worked through the book and I made it, I can knit now. This book has everything - the basics, stitches, techniques and patterns. Some people find Debbie Bliss' way of describing patterns hard to follow, but I personally prefer it to charts. All I could possibly wish for is adding more patterns for adults, especially plus-sized adults.

Good for someone transitioning from "beginner" -
I did not use this book to learn how to knit--I bought it for its stitch libraries and these have not disappointed. There are pages and pages of stitch patterns from the very basic to the more difficult that are easy to read and have great variety. I have incorporated several of these stitch patterns into new designs. My brother is in the navy, so I created a fun scarf pattern using the "Anchor" stitch, and it turned out great. However, I would not recommend this book for someone who has never held a pair of knitting needles and has no idea how to knit: the instructions are brief and the diagrams are not very helpful. But if you know your basic stitches and want to transition to something a litle more complicated than garter stitch scarves, this is a great help!

USER FRIENDLY!!! -
A nicely done book which can take you from absolute or advanced beginner to advanced quite easily. I like the layout, the photos, the projects and the simple way it's written. Also makes a good reference book for the advanced beginner to intermediate.

Knitting book -
This is great for a beginning knitter and the pattern suggestions and designs are valuable for experienced knitters, too. I have been knitting for many years but bought it because I had seen it and wanted the patterns. It was VERY gently used but in excellent condition as advertised.
